On November 20th, on-chain detective ZachXBT launched a Twitter thread to expose the three most commonly misunderstood issues surrounding the FTX case.
The three areas ZachXBT covers are:
1/ I’ve seen a lot of misinformation spread on Twitter and in the news about FTX events.

Exchanges know who the hackers are

ZachXBT first claimed that the 0x59 wallet was a blackhat address and had no connection with the FTX team or the Bahamian authorities.
Hackers used very high slippages in trading when selling Ethereum (ETH), DAI, and BNB tokens, which were bridged to avoid the assets being frozen on Nov. 12. It was noted that this sporadic behavior was “very different” from other addresses. By ZachXBT that he withdrew from FTX.

ZachXBT pointed out suspicious on-chain activity following 3168 BNB transactions from 0x59 to 0x24 and Huobi to 0x24, using potentially insecure services like Laslobit.
ZachXBT explained that this action is in stark contrast to information provided regarding debtors moving assets into cold storage and the Bahamian government moving assets into digital asset storage platform Fireblocks. .

ZachXBT then highlighted the potential misinformation surrounding the exchange knowing the hacker’s identity.
In response to Kraken team member Nick Percoco’s claim that “the user’s identity is known,” ZachXBT explained that it was likely “the recovery side of FTX, not the attacker.” Additionally, ZachXBT claims in his thread that he is his FTX group using Kraken to secure assets in Tron’s multi-signature wallet as the FTX hot wallet is out of gas for transactions. did.

Finally, Zach covered the third most common misconception spread, addressing rumors that FTX hackers are trading meme coins.

11/ Check three times who you got the information from. Many people use FTX events to pretend they’re familiar with engagements when in fact they have no idea what’s going on.
